In a recent rally at Gwanghwamun Square, UNI Global Union affiliates, including the Korea Finance Industry Union (KFIU) and the Korean Health and Medical Workers’ Union (KHMU), joined forces with national labor federations to advocate for stronger labor representation in public governance. This demonstration took place on June 21, shortly after President Lee Jae-myung assumed office earlier this month.
The coalition's rally was organized under the slogan “Everyone’s Wish! The Public Opens a New World Together.” They called on the new administration to ensure meaningful worker participation, uphold international labor standards, and prioritize public interest over austerity measures.
KFIU President Kim Hyung-sun emphasized that the current administration has a "historic opportunity to restore democratic practices and social dialogue."
